Distal ischemia induced by vascular access for hemodialysis - a case report.

Arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis may cause significant local and general changes in the bloodstream. Vascular access-induced ischemia is a rare but very serious complication which, if not treated in time, can lead to tissue necrosis. We describe a 66 year-old man with symptoms of distal limb ischemia caused by an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis.

Arterial embolization of uterine fibroids.

Purpose: the aim of this study was to analyze outcomes in a series of patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids who had undergone endovascular arterial embolization.

Methods: analysis included 36 patients with uterine fibroids and average age of 38.5 years, with bilateral endovascular embolization of fibroid-feeding arteries.

[Intra-arterial embolisation of uterine fibroma].

Unlabelled: Uterine fibroid are benign tumors that consist most of the tumor occurrences in pelvic cavity of women. Possible courses of treatment include: medicament treatment, surgical and new intra-arterial embolisation method. The aim of the paper is to present achieved results in intra-arterial embolisation treatment of Uterine fibroid.
